Ben gets a helping brotherly hand, and Ian and Adam make a discovery.

Ben wants a quiet birthday even though it’s his 21st. He confirms with Josh that he won’t be moving back to The Stables. When Josh says he’ll start looking for another housemate, Ben panics about Josh coping with the rent on his own. Ben quickly spirals into thinking about all the ways he has caused trouble for people around him. Josh tries to reassure him. Ben uses a technique his support worked showed him to bring down his stress levels. He thanks his brother for being so understanding.
Ian delivers lunch to Brian who is surrounded by boxes and belongings. When Ian learns it’s mostly Jennifer’s clothes, he gently suggests it feels a bit soon to be doing all this. Adam joins them and tries to contain his anger at what Brian is doing. Brian thinks everyone will feel better once all these kind of jobs are done. Adam tells him he’s far from feeling better right now.
As Adam and Ian look through Jennifer’s clothes they find the hat she wore to their wedding. As tension starts to build again between Adam and Brian, Ian suggests that they take all the clothes back to their house to give everyone more time to look through them. Adam describes to Ian the shock of seeing Jennifer’s clothes all over the floor at Willow Cottage. He also found the funeral surreal – he’s unable to fully comprehend that his mum’s gone. Ian spots a box labelled ‘For the children’ and they open it to see what’s inside.
